A great tragedy, not akin to the attack on Pearl Harbor, but a tragedy nonetheless. That’s why teachers in Oskosh need 90 days of paid sick leave per school year (180 days). Just look for the union label.

Triangle Shirtwaist is one of Labor’s stations of the cross.

Yes, this originated with a story by EMac on Fox, right ? The “powers that be” in the “big business” community need to start realizing that unionism is obsolete.
This shirtwaist story was a horrible incident of a bygone era that is analagous to talking about the dangers of flying in 1910.
There still are idiotic business owners who are penny wise and pound foolish, but today workers have much more ability to find a new job, and the effort should be on simply telling people that: if your job is so terrible, find something else and quit.

I heard Hillary give us an update on my drive home today.
All I could think was Where's Obamah?

The Triangle Shirtwaste fire is a mandatory case study for anyone in fire prevention or occupational safety...as well as the MGM Grand and Coconut Grove fires.
